Réserve

About This Movie

Réserve (1981) is this intriguing documentary that plays with the idea of urban myths through a unique animated lens. The atmosphere has this almost ethereal quality, weaving in and out of different tales that feel at once familiar and distant. It's not just about the stories, but how they interact with the concrete jungle around us. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the dreamlike quality, making you feel like you're drifting through these urban landscapes. There's something distinct about its use of practical effects too, which gives it a raw, tactile feel. Definitely one to ponder and reflect on, especially if you have an interest in how myths evolve in contemporary settings.
